Print Lab Services

If you do not already have one, create a Dropbox account. Dropbox provides free storage for your files online. You initially receive 2GB of free storage space, but you can earn more free space by referring friends, fulfilling your profile, or connecting your Dropbox to social media sites.

Create a folder in your Dropbox account, naming it with your name. Upload your files for print and your filled-out order form to the folder. Share the folder with Mindy McDaniel (mcdanm@sage.edu). Once shared, Mindy will receive an email notification stating that you have shared a Dropbox folder. This email prompts the start of your print job.

Pay for and pick up your prints.

The Print Lab's services are limited to the printing of your file. We do not mount or finish prints upon completion. Please use the File Setup Guidelines to prepare your file for print. Please make sure files are ready to print before submitting. We will print files "as is." Correct file set-up is the responsibility of the student or faculty member placing the order. Incorrect orders will not be processed.

If you have any questions, please contact Mindy McDaniel at mcdanm@sage.edu.

Acceptable File Types:

We can accept a wide range of image file types. Please refer to the File Setup Guidelines when preparing your file(s).
